Our family had a great time staying here. My teen especially loved being right on the water and being able to fish all the time. Great location as there is beach access less than 2 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!
Property was great! Clean and quiet. Yard was secured and the dogs had a nice area to play, we all had a wonderful time!Our host was excellent, responded via text, when I had a question before our stay.
We love sea isle. House was clean, near and bright. Kitchen had all the basics but is lacking some small appliances most families use on trips. Hot tub and outdoor area were great.
Some things that need some attention around the house. But overall great experience. Many emails of communication and clear instructions on checking in ans out. Enjoyed the welcome basket and the kindness of treats for the pup.
We had the best time at this precious spot on the bay. Easy beach access and a great dock to fish off of. Finding a place that lets us bring our pups is always hard and this was just perfect - fun for the whole family. An added bonus was the Marina! What a hidden gem. We can't wait to return!
My family of four had a great experience at this property. Very clean and beautifully updated. Communication with staff was very easy and the linens were a very high quality! Nothing worse than scratchy sheets and towels!! I highly recommend this property.
Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. The upper deck has a lot of places to sit and eat. The downstairs has a couch , gas fire pit and swing. So comfy - even to watch a rain storm. We fished and crabbed off the back deck area. The kids loved it !!!House was clean and spacious. Good find
My husband and I were here to relax and it was perfect. Plenty of room. Everything is clean. West End Marina has great food. Pariah’s Coffee House is not too far and makes great lattes and pastries. I will recommend this rental to all!
We had a lovely time. The house is perfect. The kids enjoyed catching crabs off the deck.
Only thing the house didn’t have was an ironing board and iron.
Lovely spot in Sea Isle. Far enough West that the beaches aren't excessively crowded, but not so far that the rest of Galveston is a long drive to get to. Very clean place with great atmosphere and lots of comfy spots to lounge around on the deck and below. The outdoor shower was very convenient and the hot tub is very roomy.
We also really appreciated the number of gates there were, and the doggie treat that was in the welcome basket! Our dog really enjoyed her stay.
Honestly, I really have no complaints about the place at all. I will certainly keep this place in mind for my next Galveston trip.
Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket. The house was nicely decorated, clean and well maintained. The communication with the management company was top notch. We did not have any issues. The toilet in the bathroom at the end of the hallway needs to be reset as it emits a sewer smell. We opened the window during our stay to help air it out. There were lots of extra curriculars to use: paddle board, kayak, firepit, swing, hot tub. I felt secure letting my 2 year old run around with the security of the fences/gates. I will absolutely rent this house again as long as its available. The management company was excellent to work with. I will always look for houses they host first. Thank you 979 for a memorable vacation and a nice homey place to stay.
Everything was clean, clean rooms, clean dishes, clean grounds. The host was very communicative. The hot tub was in great condition and working order. The hot tub was very clean. We loved it! Our stay was an amazing place to make memories. Also, can’t forget the fishing in the canal! The fishing was awesome! We caught trout, redfish, flounder. Thank you for our stay!
This place is great. The hosts are always very responsive to any issues that may arise. We loved the hot tub as usual, and especially the fully fenced yard and their general friendliness to dogs. The addition of a kayak was awesome! We stayed here last year and and they didn't have one then. The fire pit downstairs was nice to hang out around too.Also, fishing lights attracted TONS of fish, if you're into fishing. We aren't but this place would be great for anyone who is. Will definitely come again!
